When it's out it's OUT! Super-injunction Madness

(Written before RG was 'named'- but still relevant)

I think I have a new found respect for Arnold Schwarzenegger despite not being to keen on his actions regarding his affair(s), love child(ren) and subsequently not telling his wife; at least now it’s ‘out’ in the open (not sure if its all out) he is not hiding behind a super injunction like the latest celebrity to be caught out for foul play.

I mean at what point do you just hold your hands up and say ok it’s me, your right I cheated with such and such and then actually start to deal with the consequences both publicly (as you are in the public eye) and also privately.

Is it at the point were your named by a top TV presenter? At the point were your name is trending on twitter? At the point were your Wikipedia has been updated to state you are suing twitter? the point when your face has been plastered on a national newspaper with the word censored across your eyes? Or when the PM says I know who it is or when MP John Hemming names you in the commons?

…Somebody say when!

By trying to get the courts to enforce the super injunction he has actually made the situation a lot worse and opening himself up to some serious questions regarding his character, not based on the fact that he cheated but on how he has dealt with it in the aftermath.

On twitter he has been called some choice names with some people goading him to sue them and also in speaking in my own circle the terms arrogant, conceited and egotistical have been banded around…after all it takes a real a**-hole to try and sue the people who put you on your pedestal in the first place.

Let’s cast our mind back to a few months ago when Selina so eloquently discussed Wayne Rooney and his run in with the press over his cheating with prossies: The BDSS: Men, women and prostitutes. Fast forward a few months he and Coleen are still together. He rid the media derision and now he is back where he belongs playing football and moving forward.

In contrast Mr foul play with his super injunction looks like it will go on forever and what probably would have been fodder for the papers for one week has turned into something else the battle between freedom of speech (for twitter users) freedom of press (for the media) and freedom of privacy (for cheating celebrities).

Now in all honesty before this whole thing on twitter not only did I not check for this person (as I’m not into football) but I also had no idea who Imogen Thomas even was and pretty much thanks to this person’s actions (and Imogen’s rounds on Morning TV sofa’s) I'm now enlightened.

I must admit whilst watching the Andrew Marr show on Sunday when one of the panellists said these super injunctions are put in place often times to protect the children,  for a moment I thought ok fair enough… but then again the secret is OUT! Imogen is getting more shine and his name and reputation are being tarnished with everyday he instructs his lawyers to uphold this super injunction and sue everybody, I'm sure he's not really an a**-hole.

As I said earlier I have a new found respect for Arnold Schwarzenegger at least he is out in public and getting on with his life. This is despite not having a pre-nup and his wife reportedly hiring a top divorce lawyer which basically means…HALF! *Eddie Murphy*

By all means whilst I definitely don’t have a right, or even care that much about what goes on in the private lives of celebrities (I have my own house to deal with!) but when it’s out its OUT (Whether I believe it or not  that is another story).

So BDSS’ers what do you make of the whole saga? Does he have a right to privacy? When does that right end?

Men, women and prostitutes

I'm turning 29 in a few days time and I was going to write a fairly innocent birthday related post.....but then I saw that Wayne Rooney has allegedly been with another prostitute while his wife was pregnant with his child... Which makes for a lot more interesting blogging ha ha.... So a complete change of topic, but after hearing the story I could not stop my mind from wondering about men and prostitutes!

The fact that men sleep with prostitutes is not news to me, growing up in hackney as is the case in many part of the uk, there is always an area or street and on a larger scale Holland a country! known for this activity.

Plus I can also recall being younger and seeing the picture shown on tv of Hugh Grant after he was caught being pleasured by Divine Brown in a car (he had a look in his eyes signalling he wanted the ground to swallow him up right away). Plus more recently we've had Abbey Clancy having to deal with Peter Crouchs' infidelity with a prostitute.

What I don't understand is the appeal of a prostitute.

As a girl when I got to an age where sex was on my agenda and since then now I'm a woman, the thought has never crossed my mind to go there.

When I think about it now, if I had a choice of being intimate with a professional plumber/lawyer/(insert any other profession) or a prostitute, I'd go for the professional plumber/lawyer/(insert any other profession here please) any day!!! Its wouldn't matter how hot you are!!

Don't get me wrong I know quite a few men who wouldn't go there either! Or maybe that's not something you tell your female friend, just as a random “so what did you get up to this weekend!" "Umm nothing much, although I went to see auld slapper" (the name used by the first prostitute wayne rooney slept with- are you turned on by this name? No me neither!) :O

So maybe that's not a realistic conversation to have.

But there are other men (and women) from all professional walks of life, with all different kinds of relationship status's. Who love prostitutes! Lol! It amazes me it really does!

Part with your cash for sex (You're a bit of a sad person if you ask me! Either that or ugly! Maybe ugly, desperate and lacking in the social skills required to get a date, progress that date forward and into a relationship to get something else...I really do not know!

So I asked a few friends of mine and the general consensus was this (and this is based on what they've been told from friends of friends, as the people I know are all good christians and have never been to prostitutes for sex:

" Its the opportunity to be able to pick an attractive woman that in no other circumstance you would get near and there are no strings attached to the whole experience!!"

Which may be true in Holland where its legalised. But then I was thinking that the same can not be said for a man picking someone up from the street. A prostitute high on drugs, vulnerable standing on stamford hill streets for example. That's not about being with an attractive unattainable woman!

I've come to the conclusion that its just about plain ole sex! It doesn't matter sometimes who with (Auld slapper! Divine brown and their many cohorts) and what's at stake (yeah I've got a wife and kids but so what! ) some people just simply have no standards.

Shame on you Wayne Rooney!

This is just my opinion others may disagree!

Plus others may be more concerned with other issues surrounding prostitution.

So over to you bdss'ers...what do you think about wayne rooney, and issues surrounding prostitution In general.

Also should Colleen Divorce him?
